Promise You a Prosperous Life - C25

Yang Xiaoming was surprised for a moment and quickly looked at me and Yu Mo Yi. Afterwards, he politely asked, “Is something the matter?”

Yang Xiaoming’s attitude was completely within my expectations. I didn’t care in the slightest and hurriedly explained my purpose for coming here.

“Uncle Yang, I won’t beat around the bush in front of you, I came this time to invite you to the police station to tell them the truth about my dad’s death, and to return his innocence.”

With that, I looked longingly at Yang Xiaoming, but Yang Xiaoming acted as if he had only heard the story of someone he had met once before. He still maintained an indifferent attitude, “I told you everything I knew long ago, and pressed my palm. I don’t understand what you want me to say.”

Hearing Yang Xiaoming’s rejection, I couldn’t help but cry.

“Uncle Yang, even if you are a human’s child and have your own child, you should understand my feelings. If I can’t catch father’s murderer, even if I die, I won’t be willing. Uncle Yang, I beg of you.”

Yang Xiaoming’s nose twitched as if he was moved, but he quickly added, “No matter how much you beg me, I have nothing else to say. You should just give up on this thought.”

After saying that, Yang Xiaoming was about to push me away. I kneeled down and said, “Uncle Yang, as long as you tell me the truth, I’ll be your daughter in the future. I promise that I’ll treat you like my father. If I can’t, then I, Gu Yan, will die a horrible death.”

Yang Xiaoming didn’t expect that I would do this. He stopped what he was doing and frowned with a conflicted expression on his face. But after a while, he did not ask me to leave, nor did he express his opinion.

I encouraged myself that as long as I wasn’t driven out, there was hope. Thus, I insisted on kneeling down, but after that, there was a long period of silence.

Yu Mo Yi seemed unable to bear it any longer. He forcefully pulled me up and pointed at Yang Xiaoming as he spoke sternly.

“We came with absolute sincerity today, but it does not mean that we are lowering our dignity. The matter has already been made very clear, if you want to go to the police station, if you don’t want to go, you don’t have to go, we will not force you, but please remember this, the police are starting to suspect this, and they will eventually find out the evidence. When the day comes when the truth is revealed, if you don’t know about it, you will have to bear the legal responsibility.”

After Yu Mo said this, he pulled me, who was still unwilling, away. Just as we were about to reach the entrance, Yang Xiaoming suddenly stopped us.

“Wait, let me think for a moment.”

After a long while, Yang Xiaoming finally nodded his head.

I cried tears of joy as I thanked Yang Xiaoming. After that, I looked gratefully at Yu Moyi.

Seeing that it was a success, Yang Xiaoming suggested that the house was temporarily empty and the child was too young to go to the police station. He said that he could go with us tomorrow, which made sense to me, so I nodded in agreement.

After leaving Yang Xiaoming’s house, the moment I got back to the car, I eagerly told this good news to Liu Zhipeng. Liu Zhipeng was also very happy and immediately made an appointment to meet us the next day.

That night, I was in a complicated mood, crying for a while before laughing. After waiting for a long time until dawn, Yu Mo and I went back to Yang Xiaoming’s house. No matter how we knocked on the door, no one answered.

Could it be that Yang Xiaoming’s agreement yesterday was just a plan to delay the war, and he took advantage of the time we had left to go out and hide? As soon as I thought of it, my head buzzed, and I started knocking harder on the door.

As soon as Yu Mo saw this, he grabbed my hands and stopped me from getting excited anymore. I leaned into his embrace, tears streaming down my face. It’s all my fault for being inconsiderate, and I don’t know when my father’s grievances will be resolved.

Suddenly, Yumo, who was hugging me, turned around and went to the opposite door. His brows were knitted tightly as he kept patting on the door.

At first I didn’t know what was going on, but then I realised that he was trying to get news of Yang Xiaoming from his neighbor. I broke away from Yu Mo Yi’s embrace and quickly ran upstairs to knock on another resident.

What I want is, if I knock on another door, I’ll have an extra layer of hope of knowing where Yang Xiaoming went.

When we knocked on the fifth house, an old lady who carried a child told us that Yang Xiaoming had most likely gone to the city hospital because his grandson had a sudden illness and was hospitalized last night.

After hearing the news about Yang Xiaoming, my heart dropped. After that, Yu Mo and I immediately drove straight to the hospital. At that time, we thought that our child only had a cold and had a severe fever, but when we arrived at the pediatric ward, we found out that things weren’t as simple as we thought.

Yang Xiaoming’s grandson had acute leukemia and was in urgent need of a bone marrow transplant. Otherwise, his condition would worsen, but the hospital temporarily didn’t have a suitable match. Yang Xiaoming loved his grandson so much that his hair almost turned white overnight.

Yu Mo and I were quite shocked. We took out all the money we had on us and tried our best to comfort them. During this period of time, Yang Xiaoming was staring at his grandson on the bed. From start to finish, he didn’t raise his head to look at us.

I tried to open my mouth a few times, but then I closed it again.

Yang Xiaoming’s attitude was very clear. Right now, the most important thing for him to do is to treat his grandson. As for testifying, he wouldn’t even consider it. Even if I kneel down again, I won’t be able to do it.

Now, only by finding a suitable match can Yang Xiaoming regain his composure, and only then can he have the hope of agreeing. But what can I do about something that even the hospital is unable to do?

I suddenly felt so tired that even my voice had become light.

Yu Mo Yi held my hand tightly and said to Yang Xiaoming, “Where are the results of the inspection? I took a photo and sent it to the director of another hospital to see if there was anything else he could do. Or can you find a suitable match? ”

Yang Xiaoming immediately raised his head and gratefully said, “If I can cure my grandson’s illness, I will testify without a second word. I will definitely keep my word.”

I guessed that the dean Yu Mo spoke of was most likely Dean Li, and I had seen the strength of the hospital before, so I rekindled my hope and looked at Yu Mo Yi with heated eyes.

Yu Mo nodded at me and took the diagnosis. After taking a photo, he sent it to me. President Li replied very quickly. He would give the answer as soon as possible. Everyone in the ward heaved a sigh of relief.

But a day later, President Li came to the same conclusion as the hospital: transplant surgery was urgently needed, or the odds were against us.

It was also a pity that not only did they not have the right hospital, but even their foreign counterparts did not have the right hospital, so this matter was revealed to everyone in an even more miserable state.

There was no hope at all. Yang Xiaoming’s tears flowed down his nose, while I felt as if my muscles and bones had been pulled out. I could barely hold on and didn’t let myself fall down.

Yu Mo Yi hurried forward to support her, and said in a deep voice that there must be another way. Regarding this, I am more willing to believe that it was just a form of consolation.

After lying in bed for a day and a night, I finally recovered enough to want to see my mother again, so I went to the sanatorium alone when Yu Mo left for the company.

He didn’t know if it was just a psychological reaction, but his mother was sitting on the bed in the sanatorium, holding up a picture of his father. She looked up at him with a rare calmness in her eyes.

But suddenly, my mother opened her mouth like a child and let out a horrible cry. Then, her whole body shook, and I quickly ran over to her.

When Mom saw me, she grabbed my arm and walked out, murmuring, “Look for Dad, look for Dad.”

My tears flowed down with me, my mother was missing my father, wanted to live when all the care of our father.

“Daddy’s away on a business trip, and it’ll be a long time before he comes back. We’ll wait for him here, okay?”

As my mother calmed down, she sat back down on the bed and stared straight at the door. The sight of it made my heart ache like it had been hit by a heavy object.

On my way back, I went to the hospital to visit Yang Xiaoming’s grandson. I, as a pitiful child, also wanted to know if there were any new twists to the situation, such as suddenly finding a suitable match, but in the end, I returned disappointed.

I hadn’t been able to eat because of my sickness, and with my father’s help, my daily intake of food was pitifully small. Yu Mo came back from the company every meal for this, cooking for me nonchalantly at every meal, but even so, it didn’t seem like much of a change.

My body rapidly slimmed down.
